The nebula to the right of the North America Nebula is the Pelican Nebula

It looks like AGZ0002euz and AGZ0002eo3 are part of it.

LOL. I had a great time looking for the identity of the nebulae, and yes, it was like solving a puzzle.
Now I have to find out which nebula this is: AGZ0002fu0Posted

Wow, that's kind of uncanny how much that resembles North America.
Some more information here, if anyone is curious the way I was!
